I like magazines, especially The New Yorker, Believer, Bomb and Artforum (I just like lookin' at the pretty pictures).

Books: The Maltese Falcon, Franny and Zooey, Angels in America, Everything Ravaged, Everything Burned, The Looming Tower: Al-Qaeda and the Road to 9/11, Big Machine, This Side of Paradise, The Art of Cruelty, White Girls, Brief Encounters with Che Guevara, The Flamethrowers, Giovanni's Room. Susan Sontag, mostly when I can't sleep. Anything Zadie Smith or Hilton Als writes. I like essays that make me see something in a new light. I derive a sick pleasure from philosophy and critical theory (Foucault's my main man).

gay stuff, things that are scary, aesthetics, writing, what The Strokes "Is This It" says about youth, ontology as performance, The Real Housewives as Greek tragedy?, David Bowie, liberalism/progressive politics, whether or not I should eat at Chipotle twice in one day, altruism, self-reliance vs vulnerability, the contingencies of "niceness".
